Thanks for your protection, President. To let the other side know: we've doubled funding for the Roads to Recovery Program to $1 billion per year to help councils upgrade their roads. We've reversed the Liberal freeze on highway maintenance funding to get on with fixing potholes and resurfacing our national highways. The coalition could have done that in their wasted decade of government, but they didn't. We're making big investments in our roads, making them safer and more efficient. It's no thanks to those opposite.
